2000 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 120-unit, 6-story building at 2000 Washington Avenue in Tremont, owned by Christina Pimentel and constructed in 1983, has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure issues over recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints (January 6-10) affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with HPD confirming inadequate conditions through inspections. The building has also been experiencing recurring issues with its bell/buzzer/intercom system, evidenced by multiple complaints and inspections in 2025.

An active ECB violation dated January 2024 indicates a failure to file acceptable amended reports regarding unsafe conditions, with a penalty of $6,250 currently outstanding. The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts in 2025, with repeated bait applications showing persistent rat activity, as confirmed by March and February inspections. Earlier violations in 2024 revealed several issues in Apartment 6, including problems with heat, hot water, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and confirmed pests, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by early 2025.

The elevator system has been the subject of multiple complaints between 2021-2022, with violations noted regarding system functionality and safety. Although there were reported bedbug infestations in 2018-2019, subsequent reports from 2020 onwards show no such occurrences, with zero infested units reported in recent years. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to issues, as many violations and complaints have been closed after certification of corrections, though several active issues and violations remain unresolved as of mid-2025.
